Jennifer GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So it would have been very, very dark over Iran tonight.
Jennifer GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And you need that in order to bomb.
Jennifer GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's the ideal condition for something like a B-2 that is, yes, it's stealthy.
Jennifer GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
but it still has to be escorted in in case any Iran were to put up any planes or there were any opportunities to fire on those B2s, which are such valuable and very, very special.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Very important.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, we had to send our B-2 bombers when we bombed the Iran nuclear.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We had to send the B-2 bombers back home to Missouri as opposed to flying for a short period of time.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They had to fly for a long period of time.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's amazing how strategic it is, and I
Scott KirbyGUEST
I think the biggest thing is probably going to be blended wing bodies.
Scott KirbyGUEST
So think of the B-2 bomber.
Scott KirbyGUEST
It's a much more efficient airframe.
Scott KirbyGUEST
uh for flying and uh so turning that and we're an investor in a company called jet zero uh who's trying is that an airport challenge though too if you're here it's airport challenges yeah it's bigger so airport space but that's really a gate challenge so you got to re-gate i think that's an example of something engine technology i think can uh advance as well another cool thing by the way we're starting the relax road next later this year or next year, which is in coach, you can put three seats and a bed comes out and you can lay down on them.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Smart.

Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They obliterated.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Remember when CNN said, oh, no, it wasn't really.
Ken HudnallHOST
No longer saucer-shaped, these black triangles have been seen across Europe and North America.
Ken HudnallHOST
At first, military authorities dismissed reports as sightings of the then-secret B-2 stealth bomber, which hadn't been shown to the public until 1988.
Ken HudnallHOST
However, most Black Triangle is much larger and capable of hovering and other flight maneuvers that a B-2 couldn't replicate.
Ken HudnallHOST
This type now seems to be the most common ship coming in from a Wahala base.
Ken HudnallHOST
It's been estimated that a typical craft, about 330 feet long, could accommodate up to 5,000 assault troops and their equipment.
Will SaletanHOST
You probably remember that attack.
Will SaletanHOST

That was a huge, huge success.
Will SaletanHOST

But the 393rd bomb squadron had been a squadron in – Air Force heritage for many decades and so forth.
Richard NewtonGUEST
And the 393rd was chosen to be the first B-2 Stealth Bomber Squadron.
Richard NewtonGUEST
And I was very, very privileged, selected to be the first commander of the 393rd Bomb Squadron for B-2 bombers back at Whiteman Air Force Base in central Missouri in Knob Noster, Missouri.
Richard NewtonGUEST
And the patch I sent you is There's a patch that the stealth pilots who did that June 22nd raid on those Iranian nuclear sites back on June 22nd.
Richard NewtonGUEST
They were 393rd Bomb Squadron Tigers.
Ken HudnallHOST
The Northrop YB-49 flying wing bomber was a straightforward development of the existing YB-35 design dating back to 1941. fitted with jet engines and incorporating several improvements based on the captured Gotha aircraft.
Ken HudnallHOST
Although that design never entered service, it's considered an early ancestor of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.
Ken HudnallHOST
Several experiments with disc-shaped aircraft were less successful.
Ken HudnallHOST
Working from anecdotal accounts of Thule and Hannibal saucers and lacking reliable information on the Thule three-work propulsion system, engineers at Area 51 tried to reproduce German saucer craft from first principles.
